Spring Outfit Inspiration Trend | How to Style Leggings and and Oversized Shirt

After all, it is only the mediocre that are always at their best.-Jean Giraudoux

Hello beautiful, thank you for stopping by to read today's post, without your support I won't be a content creator. If you're a brand trying to decide whether or not to work with a Nigerian influencer/content creator like me, please take time to go through my media kithere

Spring is almost here. What flowers are your favourite? Mine are tulips and roses.

Guys, I haven't been regular on instagram because I took some time off to go back to my drawing board. I felt as if I was gradually falling into the pit of being just another instagram blogger and i didn't like that. I was getting lost in the noise, and so I had to withdraw in order to remind myself why I really care enough to share pictures, and captions that mean a lot to me.

Anyway, now that I think I've found my voice I'll give it a go, please follow me here

One of the highlights of this week was when the Nigerian Bobsled team competed at the Pyongyang winter Olympics. I'm super proud of them, they made history as the first ever African team to compete in that sports at that level. Those girls and their behind-the-scenes team are blessed.

Today's outfit inspiration came as I was rounding up with my National Youth Service, and was wondering what to do with the boots(mine weren't branded with the NYSC logo). You can use whatever boots you have in your wardrobe.

The essence of this post is to inspire someone who has boots, an oversized shirt, thick leggings, and doesn't know what to do with/style them.

It must not be the same colours as mine.

About my outfit:Oversized shirt- Believe it or not, it's a hand me down from my Mom. It's super comfortable.

Boots- My dusted, and cleaned up NYSC Boots.

Thick Leggings/Thights- From Balogun Market, Lagos. I would NEVER wear a see through leggings with something that doesn't completely cover up my bum down to the middle of my thighs. These black leggings are thick as thieves.  no see through for those peeping Tom's, and naughty men.

Where to go- you can totally go out with friends in these, go shopping, have coffee/tea, a casual meet up or stroll.

One thing I'm confused with, is whether I should accessorize this look with a handbag or fashionable backpack. If you were in my shoes what would you pair yours with? Handbag or super fashionable backpack? Tell me in the comments :)

Hello Lovelies,
Welcome to today’s post. It rained cats and dogs yesterday so the weather here in Lagos is subtle and cool. What’s the weather like where you live?

If you follow me on Instagram here (please go and do so now), you may/may not have seen my most recent post; where I gave you babes a heads up on today’s post. Please turn on post notification at the top right corner of my page so that you never miss another post from me, the new algorithm is a mess but there’s hope.

1.Call them: Try to reach out to them. Nothing brings back memories than hearing your friend’s voice. Distance should never be an issue in friendships that mean that world to you; unless you see this as an opportunity to cut off ties with that person.

2.Make A Plan To See Them Eye To Eye:
You can pick a mutual location you both enjoy, or one you have been longing to visit and meet up there. TIP: You can write out a list of things you’d li…

Hi Babes! How is your day going? Great I hope.
A while ago, I took on a personal challenge and posted everyday on Instagram for about 27 days or thereabout. The results were mind blowing. I was shook y'all. I decided to do a post to share some of the things I found out with you :)

1. There is an untapped amount of traffic waiting for influencers it's crazy.
2. Instagram is a two way road. Once you settle down and figure out the ever changing

Hey guys! Welcome to 2018(I know i'm late it's the 17th day after all). Y'all, we are now live on www.lilyofnigeria.com ! The domain was a present. I also changed the theme of the blog to one that loads faster, and consumes less data (less than 2MB) at the homepage. All for you.

I recorded a lot of successes on this blog last year, and a major heartbreak. Along the line, my host company and the domain company had serious glitches that caused this blog to load very slowly, and on some browsers, it didn't load at all. This was a heavy burden to bear and discouraged me from blogging as often as I would have hoped.

I have continued to meet a lot of people, and brands as a result of this blog, for which I am grateful.

If you are a regular here on the blog, you'll know we don't do resolutions, we do goals. This year, I have some serious goals set for Lily of Nigeria, and I hope I achieve them. All of them.

Quote of the Day: Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you. Hi, dolls! Welcome to today's post. How are you doing? Forgive me for the long time no post here on the blog I've been very busy in the non-virtual world. If you follow me on Instagramyou would have noticed the hiatus there as well. It's been one thing or the other for your girl Lily of Nigeria, but our God is faithful to the pulling down of strongholds.

Aswani is one of the most popular second-hand market (aka bend down select) in Lagos. My curiosity about Aswani market began last year when someone talked about it in a passing small talk. It wasn’t the first time I had heard of the market. I grew up(for a while in FESTAC town) so I knew the market existed, but I had never been there. I made up my mind to go and see for myself. You know your girl is a curious-kitty with a heart that constantly longs for adventures. So, I discussed it with a trusted family m…
